How to find your Fairphone 4 IMEI and module serial numbers

If you need to identify your Fairphone 4 for a support request, warranty claim, or legal tracking, you will need its unique identification codes. 

Every Fairphone 4 device has an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. Independent parts of your device also have their own serial numbers.  

Understanding your identification numbers

  • IMEI numbers: The 15-digit IMEI identifies your device and starts with "35".

  • Module serial numbers: This 8-symbol combination of letters and numbers acts as the unique serial tracking numbers for parts of the phone, including the core module. To prevent reading errors, serial numbers never contains the lowercase or uppercase letters 'i', 'o', 'u', or 'y'.
